Let’s be real—your first year as a myofunctional therapist is not going to look like those dreamy Instagram Reels or perfectly polished six-figure success stories.
It’s going to be scrappy.
Messy.
A little magical.
And sometimes you’ll ugly cry.
I recorded this episode because I needed someone to tell me these things when I was just getting started. Things like:
-
You don’t need another certification—you need reps.
-
Your first clients won’t be perfect (some will test every boundary you didn’t know you needed).
-
You’ll probably price too low, overdeliver, and then change your mind more than once.
-
Your systems will be scrappy (until they’re not).
But you know what? That doesn’t mean you’re failing.
That means you’re evolving.
This episode is for every new myofunctional therapist who’s feeling like they have to wait until they “know more” or “feel ready.”
Spoiler alert: you’ll never feel ready. You just have to start.
We talk about pricing drama, comparison traps, imposter syndrome, nightmare clients, and why building a business you love starts with boundaries—and ends with celebration.
(Yes, even for things like no-shows and saying no to red-flag clients.)
If you’re in year one (or even year two), this one’s for you.
Your first year isn’t about perfection.
It’s about permission.
Let’s go.
